RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.
Senator Palmer to Introduce a Bill OF
the Subject.

Senator Palmer to Introduce a Bill on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Senator Palmer,
of Michigan, will introduce in the
Senate at the earliest possible op-
portunity a bill prepared by him for
the purpose of regulating and restricting
immigration to the United States The
principal feature of the bill is a provision
which, if it become law, will require
every person of foreign birth who
contemplates emigrating to the United
States to provide himself with certificate
from the United States Consul for the dis
trict of his residence, "setting forth substan-
TALLY that said Consul is satisfied, upon
dlhgent inquiry that he is a suitable and de
sirable person for residence and citizenship
in the United States" Persons of foreign
birth not provided with such certificates
shall not be allowed by the United States
immigration officers to land in this country.
BIG JOB FOR CoNsULs.
The fourth section. which embodies most
of the new legislation proposed by Senator
Palmer's bill, provides that no certificate
shall be granted to any convict except those
convicted of political offenses, nor to any
iunatic, IDIOT or any person unable TO take
care of himself or herself without becom-
ing public charge, nor to any Anarchist,
Nihilist or any person hostile to the prin-
ciples Of the constitution or form of gov
ernment of the United States, nor to any
believer or professed believer in
the Mormon religion who fails
to satisfy the Consul upon examination
that he or she intends to and will conform
to and obey the laws of the United States,
nor to any person included in the prohibi-
4 stion in the act to prohibit the importa-
|1lOn and m grafton of fOrpIOnnIS and
f&liens under contract or agreement to per
zhorm labor in the United States, approved

WAR ON THE BUCKET SHOPS.
Prosecuting These Pests of the Great
Cities.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 3-One Of the most sig
nifcent of recent events in the speculative
world is the prosecution of the keepers of
bucket shops in New York and Chicago.
New York has led in the war on these pests
of great cities, and it is probable that they
will ultimately be relegated to the proper
position of gambling dens patronized only
by professional blacklegs. There is this to
be said in favor of faro and other games of
chance, that they are usually less obviously
of a swindling nature than the average
bucket shop, and that as rule they attract
a widely different class of customers, and
are really less pernicious .in their infiu-
ence on society. That is to say,
very little is expected of faro,
rouge ct noir and keno; such games
are universally recognized as gambling
pure and simple; they are generally con-
sidered disreputable and few persons with
any pretensions to self-respect will patronize
them. On the other hand, the bucket shop
is by too many regarded as a legitimate re-
sort of speculation, and ruined spectators,
bankrupt merchants, ambitious clerks,
actors, foolish women, Office boys and others
who would not think of fighting the tiger"
in Ann street and associating with profes-
sional gamblers, patronize place where
they can "investn a few dollars in stocks
ana grain under the delusion that 1t Is
simply an ordinary speculative operation
on a small scale. New York Is full OF

ALABAMA'S LAND BOOM.
An Application Granted for a Re
ceiver for a Company.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 4.-Judge
Bruce, of the United States District Court,
yesterday granted an application for the
appointment of receiver of the Smithfeld
Land Company, which holds two hundred
acres of land adjoining the city Of Birming
ham. A bill was filed by the stock
holders and alleges that o. A. Lane
and his associates of Birmingham bought an
option from j. r. Smith on 200 acres of
land called Smithfield, the price agreed upon
being S248 900; that none of this money was
paid; that the syndicate holding the option
sold the land to the Smithfield Land Com
pany for $622. 900; that the company was
capitalized at $3.50, 600; that the Smithfield
company sold SS44, 900 worth of its stock at
1890. on the dollar; that out of this sale of
stock ST, 200 was paid to Smith, the original
associates; that thereupon Smith conveyed
the land to the company, securing the bal
ance of the purchase money by a mortgage
for $1S5, 200, and that said mortgage was
not recorded; and that said o. A. Lane and
his associates took second mortgage for
$94, 900. Therefore the bill asks for receiv-
er on the ground that the mortgage held by
Smith is invalid against the stock purchas-
ers on account of its not being recorded,
and also asks that the stock held by Lane
and his associates be Cancelled because it
was without consideration. The court ap-
pointed Wallace J. Barnard, of Birming-
ham, receiver. The stock once readily sold
as high as SOC. on the dollar, but has since
fallen as low as nc.

ALLEGED FENIAN PLOTS
LONDON, Dec. <, $3.50 A. M-The Morning
Post to-day declares that certain Parnellites
recently urged the Fenians to murder Lord
Harrington, which they scornfully refused
to do American Fenians then undertook
the task arriving on the Continent for that
purpose fortnight ago These, in concert
with a few Irish Fenians, made arrange
ments by which the rails on the road be.
tween Kingston and Dublin were tosbe re-
moved in order to wreck the train carrying
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Goschan, last
week, and in the excitement shots were to
be fired into the carriage occupied by the
English visitors.
A NEW SCHEME.
The scheme was changed when it became
known that Lord Harrington and Mr.
Goschen travelled by different trains and
that the former drove straight to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Powers, in Leopardstown,
thus missing Dublin. 1t was next arranged
to attack Mr.. Powers carriage in lonely
lane and murder Lord Harrington or carry
him into the Wicklow mountains, where he
was to be held as q hostage for the release
of William O'Brien and other political
prisoners Everything had been matured,
but the plot miscarried, owing to the
watchfalness of the police.

TAXES ON FRUIT BRANDIEs.
North Carolina Congressman Call on
Speaker Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Democratic
members of the North Carolina delegation
called on Mr.. Carlisle yesterday to ask him
what ne thought could be done this winter
to relieve their constituents of what they
consider the more oppressive features of the
internal revenue laws. They told him that
their constituents would not be greatly
benefited by the repeal of the tobacco
taxes, which seemed inevitable, and that
they desired more especially the repeal of
the taxes on fruit brandies, and some modi-
fication of the laws governing the punish
ment of offenses against the internal reve-
nue., which would give the Federal Judges
trying cases under them, greater discretion
as to sentences Mr.. Carlise said he appre-
ciated the needs and desires of their con-
stituents, and would do all that he could to
help them. The North Carolina men came
away satisfied that he would. They do not
confidently expect a repeal of the fruit
brandy. taxes, because that might lead to
frauds on the revenue by distillers of spirits.
But they do hope for the desired modifica-
tion of the laws governing the trial of such
cases, SO that the Judges may have more
discretion. The Federal Judges in the
Southern circuits will probably themselves
present this matter to the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House and Senate.

Oranges Going Forward and Bringing
Good Erices.
WELAKA, FLA, Dec. 4.--Oranges are
moving very briskly and are two or three
weeks ahead of last season, being well col
ored up and full of juice. The fruit is
much better than last year, and is not so
much discolored by black rust. Messrs
REYNOLDS &5 Wool ok are buying about all
that can be had in this section, paying de-
livered in loose lots at their packing house
about 81 30 per box. This nets the seller
nearly 81 25 per box on the tree,
which is very satisfactory price, there
being no risk of shipping, cash
being paid on delivery here. home mar
ket is what all orange-growers desire. There
is good profit in the business if a regular
market can be established. The Orange
Auction Union, recently organized will, no
doubt, solve the question of how to dispose
of our oranges. Growers are all very en-
thusiastic, and If all go in for this one plan,
buyers will come here and buy the oranges,
thus cutting off the middle dealers. who are
very numerous during the season, and
many have no offices, but sell ones fruit as
it arrives off the steamer.
Property Is looking up from its decline
caused by the freeze of two years ago. and
from present indications will soon have a
good recognized value. Some settlers are
expected in this winter. Several are here
now prospecting. One party went all over
the State two years ago, and says he found
nothing so pretty and having the desirable
features which is claimed for Welaka.
The street question is the most important
business the Council has to contend with at
present, and it is thought streets will soon
be opened which will be satisfactory to all.
SO far no damaging cold has occurred. Oats
and rye are looking well. Many SOW few
